In addition to endorsement by our national organization, many of our members volunteered to put their “boots on the ground” to help various individual campaigns. By all reports, their efforts were gratifying and exhilarating –this is a reflection of the spirit and honor with which all endorsed candidates entered this campaign for office. Some of their stories have been posted on our website (www.vmfp.org).

Incoming Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee Congr. Bob Filner (51st Distr. CA) spoke highly of VMFP’s mission recently. “I stand ready to work with you to address the many needs and concerns of our nation's veterans, service members and their families. Please call me whenever I can be of assistance,” he said.
